Skin color is not the identification of race

[ArabianKnight]

I belive that race is most identified by skin color, however this has to do with bone structure.

Light Araboids, however lighting can make them lighter than they actually are. Some are clearly brown skined, well others are not.




Clearly dark skined probably adaptation to the harsh desert sun







Adaptation

Examples of metrically identical racial types adapted to different climates:

MEDITERRANEANS

(Britain)

(Arabia)

ALPINES


(Germany)

(Tajikstan)

NORDICS


(Norway)

(Morocco)

(Coon, 1939)

Tanning

Striking contrasts of people deeply tanned and then with natural coloration:

(Spanish Model)


(Italian Footballer)


(Greek Model)


(Sicilian-American Actor)

I would like to know what is the cause for dipigmentation in the non-European Caucasoids especially the Araboids. Since they seem to have the same bone structure but different shades of skin color, it seems that the Araboids have become a race of their own, but distantly related to Caucasoids. This idea is seems to supported in WN forums were they say Araboids are different from Caucasoids.


So do you think Araboids are Caucasoids or not, like I said they have the same bone structure but different shades of skin color?

I agree with you that skin tones are much variable and depends on UV expsoition hence not really liable criteria for racial classification.
Regarding Coon's North African Nordics, I'm not sure that they were really nordics/dids.
Theyere probably a particularly long faced North African "Atlanto-Mediterranean" variety with an Afalou strain, a possibility that coon himslef exposed as said that the N.African Nordids looked rather like Irish UP/Nordic intermediaries more than Nordics proper

What are you calling araboids? If you mean the Small Meds of Arabia then of course they are Caucasoids. Stormfronters know 0 about morphology or physical anthropology as a science. They classify on prejudice and have a ridiculous idea of "white".

The part you copy pasted from Racial Reality is not working for me.

I agree that a lot of Coon's Nordics are not such, he wasnt perfect, but still right on the general scheme of things (UPs vs Meds for example).

Of course. In spite of the mistakes he could have made, he remains a pioneer of physical anthropology.
His UP vs Med scheme is IMO correct.
